Executive Writing

Often, as a communications or business writing professional, you'll be asked to write executive communications. This may be a memo sent on behalf of the CEO, a Board Chairman's address in a publication, a "company-wide" email, a speech, a presentation, etc. You may also be asked to attend executive meetings to take minutes and write agendas. Hopefully the samples below will be helpful. And give this audio a listen to! The speaker (a coworker of mine) is a very thoughtful writer, who is a sort of "ghost writer" for executives in a variety of magazines.
